This is my work bench. Lets see yours.

ALL very neat! NOT!

Looks good, mine is not a dedicated bench as I work at any horizontal area.
My parts bins follow my trails.
I will try to take some pictures of my parts/project bins tonight.

Mine is actually much better than it was.

I see nothing wrong with this as I call it a organised mess, but I do the same and I m sure you know where everything is.
If it is real clean work area/completely organized there is no work being done.

A little messy right now, but as soon as I finish the tender in the vice, I'll pick everything up and start messing it up again.

As it relates to mess, I can relate.

18 square feet of flat surface......2 square inches of work space

This photo is a few years old, but you get the idea.

For the electronic guys out there, all the analog stuff in the photo has since been replaced.

And some days, you have too much help. He is sitting on one of my inventions, trying to help it hatch....

Compact.......but does the trick..........

Eddie, here is my workbench.  I did not show in the video, I have a dedicated laptop for train work and files only.  That is in front of the Cab-1.  Under the bench are my manuals and to the left is my took rack and parts department.  Sorry for the poor quality video.

1033 transformer was just gone through and complete,  while a ZW waits in the wings for its overhaul!

This is mine......NOT

Oh  my   GOSH.. gorgeous. must be new

I'm fortunate. I have 3  benches. 2 downstairs devoted to streamliners and 1 up for the Heavyweights.

My work bench is my dining room table. If I had room for a work bench, my layout would be that much larger...

FWIW...so many projects, so little room...

Does the kitchen table count??     Really I don't have a work station, table.  Just a tiny tool box with a few wiring tools.

My project was to big for a bench,which already has 3 in progress repairs, so I went for the garage. This has to be done by march 11th.

I had no idea how messy my "workbench layout" really was until I took these pictures, still love it though!

Cleaner than usual. Unless we count all the things piled on the floor just out of frame. And we don't. So, cleaner than usual!

My build paint and decal desk.  This is in my office......

I have a different desk where I test, oil and do electric work and testing......I'll take a photo later...

Forgive the wires hanging...I am in the middle of new LED lighting. But you get the idea. The big PRR Q1 is soon to be moved to the work zone.

Here's my bench/desk. I did my homework on this desk when I was a kid.

Mine has to be the worst on the forum.

Not even close Eddie! I can at least tell that you're working on a whistle tender.

This is my electronics workbench where my wife and I have been doing card assembly.

This is my regular workbench. It is so covered with an accumulation of projects and tools It is virtually unusable. It needs a serious cleaning!

I just installed this counter top at the beginning of the month, and it already has that "lived in" look.

I'm having an open house at the end of April. This all gets cleaned up by then.

Elliot, I live about 2 hours from you. I would love to get to your open house or just get to see your layout sometime.

Michael

Once upon a time.

Trains and Planes, the fun never ends. Clean the train work bench maybe once every 6 months. Just go from one project to the next.

And of course, the race car.

A clean shot from 2015 and todays.

Michael, probably best if we if we set up a private showing. I wouldn't want you to get lost in the shuffle of the open if you're coming that far. I expect my head to be spinning that day (more than usual).Just drop me an email, and we can set something up.

If it wasn't messy you aren't getting anything done.

This is where I do the small jobs the larger projects are outside the house in the garage. Roo.

Here is mine.

Here's an older picture of mine.  It doesn't look that much different now.

Sounds great Elliot. I will do that sometime. Thanks.

Michael

Ok, here is mine, it stays messy.
